8912	wptexturize malforms HTML comments that contain HTML tags	Otto42	anonymous	"Because it's replacing -- with #8211, a comment like <!-- whatever --> put into the HTML part of a post gets broken.

This makes it difficult for people writing special HTML in posts (like people putting in object tags, or javascript, or whatever) to do that sort of thing.

What is needed is to recognize --> as different from -- and not replace it with the en dash in that case.
